x red poll steer

The
Red Poll is one of the most commercially successful breeds available,
because it will answer the requirements of either the farmer who wants
to breed his own suckler herd from existing beef mothers by using a Red
Poll bull, or the farmer who uses a terminal sire on Red Poll cows.

x red poll heifer

For
the first farmer, by using a Red Poll bull, he will increase the milk
over a long lactation, thus producing a future cow which will be easy
calving, long lived, cheap to keep and naturally polled, while still
having a full value beef steer to sell.

X RED POLL COW WITH 6 MONTH OLD CALF
(HER SEVENTH)

The
farmer who has Red Poll cows and uses a terminal sire will get the
benefit of easy calving, natural polling and the maternal ability of the
Red Poll cow to rear a continental cross calf, at the most commercial
rate to produce beef of the highest quality available in this country.

x red poll cow

The
pure bred animal while not carrying the continental shape produces beef
at a much reduced cost per kg which is considered second to none for
quality of taste, texture and repeat order business as any on the
market.
